JamesBass Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) So after contacting Mark at Limelight and him not able to do what I want I've been faced with a decision, the decision being that I needed to find either an alternative colour or a completely different route to what I want. During my research I found MJT over in the States and while I haven't spoken to these guys yet they have a positive review from those over on TalkBass, which can be a great sign in itself! Looking at MJT's website I'm really impressed with the paint jobs so a body or full bass might well be on order from there soon! http://mjtagedfinishes.com/default.html Edited January 3, 2015 by JamesBass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazed Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Often see MJT stuff popping up on eBay. Nice finishes from what I've seen, although I think ice only seen bodies not complete builds. You could look at this guy in France, can't comment on them from any personal experience but they look nice. http://www.stevie-g.fr/BIENVENUE.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick's Fine '52 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 MJT, in my opinion, do the best relic paintjobs around. Genuine checking, unlike anything i've seen elsewhere or currently available. I've bought 2 in the past, both exceptional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 This website has just fixed an issue I had when talking to Limelight too. Magic, cheers Rick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'm still searching for the right spec Jazz neck for one of them, and the other was for a '66 slab precision, and had to be a maple-cap neck, which are very scarce, so i had to get that from a Roger Waters signature reissue. Good, vintage correct necks are surprisingly hard to get hold of!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking to get one for a P from musikraft who even offer Brazilian Rosewood as a fingerboard option but currently researching if that's ok to bring to the UK! http://musikraft.com Edited January 4, 2015 by JamesBass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raslee Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Old thread resurrection alert (thus proving some basschatters check to see if the topic has come up here before ) - Anyhow, i am shortly about to pull the trigger on one of their jazz bodies for my 74 jazz as it is way to heavy for regular gigging (i will of course keep the original ash body), quite impressed by their website too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course pics will be needed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
